After quantifying the wastes generation and composition, the major categories of organic wastes consisting of elephant dung, rhino dung, garbage and litter were composted using vermicomposting technique within the premises of Central Zoo. The physico-chemical and microbiological parameters of thus prepared compost were analyzed to test the quality of compost using the standard scientific methods.
